When installing the sensor be sure to notice the pins are
keyed so it can only be installed one way.
After the sensor is installed you will need to install the
lens mount. All lens mounts are designed to counteract the
force from the cold finger spring which will try to push the
sensor out of the socket.
The KAE
−
01093 imager board has a more complex lens
mount because it is part of a passive cooling system. Make
sure to use all 8 of the M2 screws you remove when you
disassemble the lens mount from the imager board. When
you reinstall them tighten each a little at a time so you are
always applying even pressure against the front of the
sensor.
•
Plug in Power and Communication Cables
With the Evaluation Kit powered off, insert the USB cable
into your PC. Insert the power plug into the receptacle on
the Imager/FPGA board. Turn on the Power. Use
DeviceManager to verify “Truesense USB3” seen by the
system.
•
TE Cooler Controller (Recommended)
Connect the controller to the TE cooler interface
connector using the supplied pigtail (wires, contacts and
5 pin housing). The internally cooled kits have the
interface connector on the imager board. The externally
cooled kit has a short cable going to the thermistor and
TEC. Pinout for the cooler and thermistor is shown below:

TE CONTROLLER POWER SUPPLY:
Use an adjustable power supply. DO NOT run the 11.2 V
TEC devices with a 12 V supply. This reduces efficiency of
TEC and sends too much current through it. Recommend
adjustable power brick such as Ellway 4

VERY IMPORTANT:
Do not drive the TEC cooler with the TEC controller unless
the fan in the cooling tower is running. You can damage to
TEC cooler.
Run SensorStudio
•
Shortcut
To properly configure the shortcut icon for SensorStudio,
right click, choose properties and then select the
compatibility tab. Set the OS for your OS and enable “run
as admin”. The latter is needed if you install SensorStudio
in the standard Program Files area which is owned by
admin.
•
Launch Program
Double click the SensorStudio desktop icon to launch the
software.
•
Load Plugin
The plugin can be loaded by clicking the G3 button in the
toolbar.
